My Cozy French Farmhouse Living Room- I'm Giving You ALL the Sources

August 30, 2016 Kayla Miller
French Farmhouse Inspired Living Room by Plum Pretty Decor and Design.

So if you follow me on Instagram you know exactly what my living room looks like. You are probably wondering if its the only room in my home. Promise guys it's not! And sorry if I over share. I like to think my living room has a modern farmhouse look with a french flair. My living room is not magazine worthy or even finished, but it is a room I love. I would still like to add sliding doors with barn door hardware going into the sunroom and recover the chairs next to the windows. The doors will come when I finally find the perfect ones and the chairs- well when I have time to upholster them.

This room was not designed or decorated over night. It was a very long process- finding each piece that FIT, which became a challenge. Our living room is long and narrow with a very odd arrangement of door ways and openings. I decided to make the fireplace the focal point and went from there. I knew I wanted this room to be used when we had guest for a nice place to relax and have conversation. Oh and naps!- Not for guests but for me.

So over a 1 year span this room transformed into my little cozy french farmhouse living room. Which continues to transform as I add little things here and there. After all this room is collected not staged. 

This was our living room the day we moved in- Periwinkle walls and all!

Many people ask me where I found each piece so here are all my living room sources: 


My first purchase for this room was my console table; it's from World Market and you can find it here- World Market Everetts Console Table. It just so happened to fit perfectly on this wall. This wall just underwent a major remodel which you can read all about here- {Farmhouse Living Room Wall Makeover}.

Next was the two display cabinets that flank the fireplace. These were a birthday gift from my amazing husband. My birthday is in November, so this was... ohh 7 months after the console table. Still one of my favorite birthday presents of all time, just because he knew I had fallen in love with them after seeing them at Furnitureland South. These cabinets are made by Four Hands and are part of their Reclaimed Irish Coast Collection- here are some I found online- {Four Hands Irish Coast Display Cabinet}.

Then Santa brought my sofas. Actually, Austin had them freight delivered to me a few days before Christmas. Isn't he the best! Some girls want jewelry and flowers, I just want sofas, cabinets, rugs, lamps..... antiques..... oh and shiplap. These sofas are made by Baxton Studios and are called the Constanza Classic French Sofa. I searched forever for this style sofa that wasn't over 75" long, so they would fit my long narrow living room. - shop sofas here {Constanza Classic French Sofa}.

The rug came next. World Market item again! Yes, this rug sheds and we have a love/hate relationship, but I love the texture and warmth it adds to this space. And World Market has the best price on Jute Rugs I have found. I used the 9'x12' for this space which fit perfectly and really framed in my focal space. Shop the rug here- {World Market Natural Basket Weave Jute Rug}

Then finally came my lamps. I found these while shopping at Target one Friday night with some friends. You know you're getting "older" when Friday night double dates are at Target. The wood matched my console table, sofa frame, and display cabinets perfect. So those lovelies hopped right in my buggy. Funny how that happens at Target.. This lamp is no longer available in this style, with the wood washed finish, but here is a lamp thats very similar in style- {Target- Mudhut Turned Floor Lamp}.

Last major thing we did was upgrade from an 90s gold ceiling fan to this gorgeous chandy from World Market, find it here- {Wood Beaded Corinne Chandelier}.

Furniture Sources: 


  • Console Table- World Market Everetts Console Table
  • Display Cabinets- Four Hands Irish Coast Display Cabinet
  • Sofas- Constanza Classic French Sofa
  • Rug- World Market Natural Basket Weave Jute Rug
  • Lamps- Target- Mudhut Turned Floor Lamp
  • Chandelier- Wood Beaded Corinne Chandelier

Most of my decor in my living room are found items and items I offer at my antique "pop-up" shops. But here is just a little run down list of some of those things:


  • Coffee Table- Found Old Wooden Chicken Coop
  • Metal Arched Window on Fireplace- Old Brass mirror redesigned by yours truly
  • Magnolia Wreath- {Magnolia Market}
  • Candle Sticks on Fire mantel- Plum Pretty Decor and Design
  • Greenery Garland- Fresh Olive Branch Garland from Pottery Barn around the holidays
  • Pillow- Assortment from {HomeGoods}
  • Old Coverless Books- Plum Pretty Decor and Design
Old Chicken Coop Coffee Table

The main thing when decorating a space is that it's purposeful, functional and beautiful. Think about how the space will be used and pick items you know will form a purpose and function. My home is lived in! When guest come over pillows are moved (thrown in the floor majority of the time), drinks are place on tables/floors/rugs without coasters, chairs are scooted, and comfort is my main focus.

A space does not have to be magazine worthy or uncomfortable to be beautiful! For those who have asked about my living room I hope this answers all your questions and if not leave me a comment. I also hope I have inspired you to have a loving, purposeful, functional, and beautiful home. 

With love,

These cuties!! Ohh how I love them so. 
PSA- Charlotte finally destroyed the jute rug in our living room. Beyond repair this time. I could not work my weaving magic. 
Sooo I’ll be shopping for a new rug and I think I’m done with jute. They just shed way too much for my dark floors. Love the look and the texture- hate the shedding. Anyone know of a similar look without the shedding? .

I’m still here I promise! 2019 came with new beginnings, big changes, sickness, and a new outlook on life.
What was suppose to be a small break over the holidays turned into a month of silence on here...
So here’s why- 2019 started out with Austin getting very sick with the flu then my grandmother being hospitalized and diagnosed with congested heart failure. I experienced possibly the most terrifying night of my life as I sat beside her hospital bed watching her struggle to breath. She is now home and doing much better but still not in the clear. 
During all this I was personally making a HUGE decision about my future regarding my career. Over the past 6 months I have been doing lots of soul searching and praying about my future. An opportunity presented itself to me in mid December and it was the final nudge that I needed to do what I had been feeling for a long time. I felt like God was finally giving me a direction. 
I have decided to close and let go of my design business. And I honestly say that with a happy heart. This little business of mine has taught me so much. I created, owned, and operated my very own successful business. And I am very proud of all my accomplishments. But this business grew into more than I could personally handle. So over the past year I had to decide to either grow this business and hire employees or take all I had learned and put it to a different use. And to be completely honest I am a designer/creative not a business owner. I love designing and creating but the thought of owning and operating a company with employees gave me more anxiety than I could handle. And in order to reach goals I had set for my design business it was not possible to do it on my own. One girl can only do so much.
So with much thought and prayer the beginning of this week I formally accepted a job offer. I honestly can not tell you how excited I am about this!! If I could describe my dream job this just might be it. 
So what does that mean for my life here on IG? Well it will defiantly be more intentional. I will continue to share my life, what we have going on, and of course the pups. (CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️)
Trimming the tree with @Joann_stores! I shared all my tips for styling a modern neutral Christmas tree today over on the blog. 🎄
*(Click the link in my profile and scroll down to “recent blog post” to read.)
I also included a tutorial on how I made these marble ornaments and a no sew tassel tree skirt. I’m actually kind of impressed with the tree skirt (not to toot my own horn or anything). Let’s just say I got a little crafty with this look. .

You guys already know how much our pups mean to us! Our wish this is that all dogs feel this same LOVE! Because every dog deserves it. ❤️🐶
This holiday season Bella & Charlotte’s wish is to help out some of their furry friends and spread awareness on how you too can help. 
Head over to my stories to learn more about the @pedigreefoundation and how they are changing the world one pup at a time!! .

Charlotte has something to tell you-The DIY Felt Leaf Garland tutorial is now directly on my blog! 
After so many messages from people saying they couldn’t access the tutorial from my last post I just made the garland tutorial it’s very own spot on the blog. 
It costs less than $8 to make and no more than an hour of your time. So EASY!! Tag me if you create one and I’ll share it. 
Thank you @joann_stores for providing the supplies for this craft! .

“Santa baby, slip some BONA under the tree for me. Been an awful good girl.”
Today on the blog I shared my newest secret weapon for cleaning my floors by @bonafloorcare. You guys know how much I LOVE my Bona and this might be my favorite product yet! My floors haven't looked this good since we installed them. 
Head over to the link in my profile and scroll down to most recent blog posts and you can read all about it there. AND see a little sneak peek of my living room Christmas tree.
Now back to Birthday celebrations! Austin and the pups made me dinner and now we’re all cuddled on the couch watching a movie and eating cake. ❤️

I’m back after a week long social media break. I took a few days after Thanksgivings to truly be present. I sat my phone down and lived. Well and I had no cell service Thursday-Sunday #campervaca. 
Y’all the “social media” life is no joke. But since stepping away from my traveling store this has became a big part of my job and income. It’s another FULL time time job. 
What you don’t see behind these pictures is the HUSTLE! The countless hours of work to create new content... finding content, taking photos, editing, coming up with captions, writing blog posts...The hours spent trying to keep up or defeat the IG algorithms. The EMAILS! 
And I do it all for YOU! ❤️
I create content to inspire YOU! I create content to give YOU free design/life/diy advise. YOU are my why! Thank YOU for being here, following, reading, and supporting! 
It’s okay to take a break sometimes. Although most instagramers/bloggers would disagree and say it’s terrible for your numbers. But guess what? The world will keep spinning and you can jump right back in once you’re ready. Never be afraid to take a break. Sometimes we just need that time. Felt like someone somewhere might need to hear that. 
Sorry for that mini novel! All that to explain my absence now who’s ready to see some Christmas content?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ These DIY stockings are on my most recent blog post with Joann. They are super easy take 10 mins and cost less than $10 to make. More Christmas is coming y’all!! ❤️🌲

Simple, cozy, and Charlotte approved! 
I had so much fun creating this look with @Joann_stores. You see that garland?! It’s felt and I did a full tutorial on how to make it. You see those gorgeous stockings?! I made them from craft stockings and various material I found in the craft and fabric section at Joann. They are so easy and only take minutes to make- no sewing required. And the best part is they are cost less than $10 to make! Let’s just say I got a little crafty. 
Head over to the link in my profile, click it, scroll down to “recent blog post,” and you can find the full reveal there along with the tutorials for the garland and stockings. .

Our Christmas front porch! 🌲
Even though I got poison ivy all over my hands from the garland it was so worth it.
This is the first year I’ve been excited about decorating our tinie winie front porch and I owe it all to our @simpsondoorco door. She completely steals the show.
Christmas is totally her look! Don’t you think!? .

Another favorite view from last Christmas...
Last year it was all about fresh greens. This year.... I need to figure that out...But it’s a brewing. 
Question: Do you do an artificial tree or a real tree?? 🌲We do both but just curious. .
